Is such the fast that I have chosen? the day for a man to afflict his soul? Is it to bow down his head as a rush, and to spread sackcloth and ashes under him? will you call this a fast, and an acceptable day to Yahweh?

Is it such a fast that I have chosen? a day for a man to afflict his soul? is it to bow down his head as a bulrush, and to spread sackcloth and ashes under him? wilt thou call this a fast, and an acceptable day to the LORD?

Is the fast, I choose it, like this, a day of a man humbling his soul, to bow his head like a reed, and to spread sackcloth and ashes? Do you call this a fast and a day of acceptance to Yahweh?
